Hybrid Approach as a Salvage Strategy for Post-Myocardial Infarction Ventricular Septal Defect.
Article in JACC. Case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPost-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (post-MI VSD) is a life-threatening complication of acute myocardial infarction, associated with high mortality if untreated. Advances in surgical repair and percutaneous closure have reduced its incidence, but post-MI VSD remains challenging to manage. CASE SUMMARY: A 67-year-old man with an evolved inferior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction developed cardiogenic shock. After the diagnosis of post-MI VSD, an initial surgical repair was performed. However, residual ventricular septal defect was detected, likely because of patch dehiscence, along with an additional serpiginous septal defect. After discussion within the heart team, a decision was made to proceed with percutaneous closure of the defect using an Amplatzer vascular plug II (Abbott), achieving an excellent clinical outcome. DISCUSSION: A hybrid approach combining surgery and percutaneous intervention for post-MI VSD demonstrates successful outcomes, especially when reoperation poses high risk. This approach could improve management and survival in complex post-MI VSD cases.
